April 22, 2021 updated by: Glaukos Corporation

Safety and Effectiveness of the UV-X System for Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Eyes With Corneal Ectasia After Refractive Surgery

Prospective, randomized multicenter study to determine the safety and effectiveness of performing corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) using riboflavin and UVA light in eyes with ectasia after refractive surgery.

Detailed Description

Subjects are randomized to a control group or a treatment group, with the control group crossed over to the treatment group at the 3 month visit. Corneal collagen cross-linking is performed as a single treatment. Subjects are followed for 12 months after the procedure to evaluate the long term effects of corneal collagen cross-linking.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in Maximum Keratometry (Kmax)
Time Frame: baseline,12 months
The primary efficacy parameter was corneal curvature, as measured by maximum keratometry (Kmax) in the study eyes. Study success was defined as a difference of ≥1 D in the mean change in Kmax from baseline to 12 months between the CXL group and control group. Keratometry was measured manually and by pentacam.
